Adjust Background Color and Brightness in Reading Mode
Use this method to switch to eye-friendly background colors and adjust the screen brightness manually or automatically to reduce eye strain.
WPS Office provides multiple built-in background textures and colors designed specifically for prolonged reading, alongside in-app brightness sliders that bypass your system settings.
Open your document in WPS Office. Tap the 'Tools' menu at the bottom or top of the screen, navigate to the 'View' tab, and select 'Reading Mode' or 'Mobile View'.
Tap the center of the screen to bring up the Reading Mode toolbars, then select the 'Settings' (gear icon) or 'Display' option.
Choose from the available background swatches, such as Soft Green (Eye Protection), Sepia, or Dark Mode, to apply an immediate color change to your document background.
Use the on-screen brightness slider to increase or decrease the lighting. You can also toggle 'Auto-Brightness' if you want the app to adjust lighting based on your environment.
Enable Always-On Display and Screen Orientation Switching
Configure your screen to stay awake while reading long documents and manually force portrait or landscape orientation.
Enjoy a Comfortable Reading Environment with WPS Office
WPS Office offers a robust Reading Mode tailored to improve document legibility. Easily adjust background colors, manage brightness, keep your screen awake, and lock your orientation to enjoy distraction-free reading.
- 1. Open Your Document: Launch WPS Office and open the Word or PDF document you wish to read.
- 2. Activate Reading View: Navigate to the View tab and tap 'Reading Mode' for an optimized layout.
- 3. Customize Your Display: Tap the settings gear to change the background to Sepia or Dark Mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I switch to landscape mode in Reading View?
If the in-app orientation switch is not working, ensure that your device's system-level orientation lock (found in your phone's quick settings or control center) is turned off, then try tapping the landscape option in WPS again.
Does Reading View change the formatting of my original document?
No. Reading View (or Mobile View) temporarily reflows the text and changes the background color purely for your display. Your original document formatting, layout, and colors remain completely unaltered when you print or share the file.
Does the always-on display feature drain my battery faster?
Yes, keeping the screen continuously awake will increase battery consumption. If you enable this feature, it is recommended to lower your screen brightness or use Dark Mode to help optimize battery life.
Is dark mode available for reading PDFs in WPS Office?
Yes, WPS Office provides a Dark Mode specifically for reading. You can activate it from the Reading Mode settings, which will invert the background and text colors to provide a comfortable reading experience in low-light environments.
